As soon as we hear the name of high hills of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, the first images that come to our mind are difficult climbs, long trekking routes and walking with heavy luggage. Many times, due to age, health or lack of time, people are deprived of enjoying the real beauty of the mountains, because they feel that it is not possible to reach the heights of the Himalayas without trekking. But if you also want to reach directly among the clouds without any physical fatigue or hiking, then these magical and beautiful villages situated in the lap of Himalayas are no less than a boon for you. These offbeat destinations, directly connected by road, are all set to give you a memorable experience of a lifetime with less effort.
Apart from Chopta and Tungnath, know about unknown places like Langsi and Makkumath.
There are many villages located in the Garhwal division of Uttarakhand which are known for their natural grandeur, but huge crowds of tourists do not reach there.

At these places, vehicles drive straight to the doorstep of your hotel or homestay and as soon as you open the window, you are greeted by huge snow-clad peaks. The calm climate and local culture here gives a different mental peace to the tourists.
